Upon receiving a report from a woman who alleged she was held by force at a residence and sexually assaulted, Yreka Police Department (YPD) officers made an arrest on Wednesday evening, said YPD Chief Brian Bowles.

Joseph Nagi Ibrahim, 30, of Yreka, was charged with false imprisonment, rape of a spouse, sexual penetration with a foreign object, oral copulation, preventing/dissuading a witness, inflicting corporal injury on a spouse, violating a court order to prevent domestic violence and residential burglary.

Bowles explained that the residential burglary charge is due to Ibrahim’s alleged act of entering a residence with the intent to commit a crime.

The arrest occurred when YPD officers were dispatched to Spirit Gas Station in Yreka at approximately 6:06 p.m. when a woman was reported to have locked herself in the business’ bathroom.

According to Bowles, when officers made contact with her she alleged she had been held by force at a residence for several hours and sexually assaulted by the man.

Bowles said Ibrahim was at the gas station when officers arrived and he was taken into custody. Ibrahim is being held in the Siskiyou County Jail on $100,000 bail.

According to online court documents, Ibrahim has been charged multiple times for allegedly committing violent crimes. Among his prior charges are stalking, violating a court order to prevent domestic violence, inflicting corporal injury on a spouse, intimidating a witness, assault causing serious bodily injury and battery to a non-cohabitating spouse.
